My wedding baby is due in one week. ONE WEEK. My body has passed the pregnancy test with flying colors thus far. When the birth day finally arrives, I will remind myself of this,

"Giving
birth is an innately instinctive act, hardwired into our brains and
bodies through millions of years of mammalian evolution, and designed to
ensure the best possible outcomes for mothers and babies." ~Sarah J.
Buckley, Gentle Birth, Gentle Mothering.

I have love and support all around, but ultimately

this moment calls on the abilities of my body and mind.(photo by saucy_pan)
